I don't own Zelda but my own characters, this takes place a year after Twilight Princess.
I slowly opened my eyes, my mind flash backed to the event that just happened. The cracked of the ice, I fell into it and that's it. I'm in dark place like I was the first time, but this time…it's a lot more different. I'm not floating my feet were on the ground and there was light though it is quite dim.
A big aura of light shown on me, I covered my eye since I was blinding me. It started to call my name. I consciously I was walking to it.
"Katrina…closer…yes my child closer" it whispers to me "I am Axel I'm here show you the memories of your past; they are the main events that happen to you." It told me.
I reached out my hand to touch the light; I closed my eyes as I was being absorbed by the light.
I was running in the deep dark woods, running for life. I was scared for life; I was being chase by a demon that was two times taller as me. If I didn't speed up the pace at this rate…I might die and I don't want to die! "Stay away from me! Just stay away!" I screamed and I suddenly trip on a tree stump, just after that I realize that I've twisted my ankle and couldn't move.
I look behind, and saw the demon catching up with me. It growled as it came towards me, he smirked at me. "Well child…now that the fun and games are over, you must die" it said to me, he lifted up his sword and grabbed my twisted ankle I whined in pain. I closed my eyes waiting hoping that he finish me quick.
I heard the demon scream in pain, I reopen my eyes and saw the demon falling to the ground then a little explosion, in front of me was a girl with short green hair and golden eyes that were filled with fury and distress. There were tears coming from her eyes, she ran towards me and hugged me.
"Katrina! Thank goodness that you are alright…how many times do I have to tell you, never wander off alone in these woods, there are people that are after us" she told me.
I hugged her back "I'm sorry Giselle, I thought that you didn't care about me…so I ran away" I felt tears coming from my eyes.
"Nonsense…of course I care about you and _ you are my little my children instead of sisters…but right now I'm focusing on who tried to kill our parents, our brothers and sisters. You guys are the only people that I have left, there that matter most to me. I love you Katrina and your sister and if I lost you then I would go berserk…now let's get back home"
"But Giselle…I twisted my ankle. Can you carry me please?" I asked sweetly to her.
"Of course you numpty…" Giselle answered and then picked me up.
I was growling the kite on the grass "Damn it! You stupid kite why won't you work!"
"Katrina what are you doing?"
I turned to see who it was "Nothing big sister" I lied to her, hoping she would fall for my lie.
Giselle smiled at me "Well it doesn't seem like nothing to me…" she then gave me the death glare "Now tell me the truth. What are you doing?" she asked evilly sending me shivers down my spine, I jumped scared of what she going to do next.
"I want to fly this kite but there is no wind, and I was going to ask you but you were busy. So I thought if I ran along with the kite then I could make wind appear…" I told her truthful.
"Jeez Kat you're so troublesome…here hold on little kitty!" Giselle said, she then used her hand generate wind which made my kite start to shake. "Ugh…let me try again sis." again using her hand she made a big breeze so strong that nearly the leaves of the tress could of fallen off.
The kite quickly motion in the air and I grinned with delight "This is so awesome! Thanks you Giselle"
She giggled "No problem Kitty Kat, now I'm going to how the active one is doing"
"Is that all I need to see? Is there anything else I need to see?" I asked Axel
"All you need to know is who Giselle was in these memories; she is the oldest child out of nine. But you've got other brothers and sisters to see in your memories. However that's not all…you need to know about the fire."
"The fire…? What do you mean by that?" I questioned.
"One night a fire began in the house downstairs, it spread quickly and killed most of your family. But only 5 of you siblings survived and leaving 6 dead including your parents" He explained to me.
My heart stopped "Most of my family is dead…no…no…no, then that means I can't home with half of them dead. I'll never be able to see my friends again, my adoptive parents…" I felt tears coming from eyes; I fell to the ground and started to sob.
A few seconds later I heard Axel voice "Child, do not cry. There is another way to get back home."
I looked at Axel "There is? H-how"
"If you manage to find out how the fire started and if possible who did it and kill that person, then you are able to go back to your dimension. That is one of the main events that happened in your life, you've also got another one see as well." Axel told me.
"The mark on your stomach, take a look at it." He order me, I lifted it up to see a spiral it white and it covered my bellybutton. "Once you come out of this mindscape you will get a dots out of the spiral mark, this means that you've regain your memory. You need to collect all nine dots in order unlock the hidden power"
"What do the nine dots represent then?"
"Nine years…Nine memories…Nine dots…Nine siblings…Nine tails" He said simply "And don't asked me what they mean, you've got to figure that out yourself. Well looks like I have to go now…Good luck on journey Katrina and I hope to meet you again soon"
A glowing dust fell on me that sent me to sleep. I tried to battle it out to stay awake but the power was too strong, so I gave in and closed them.
I gasp for air as I broke through the ice; my body was cold, freezing to death as if I were going to die. I looked to see where Elena was, she a few meters unconscious. Slowly crawling out of the freezing water, I crawled to Elena.
"Hey Elena wake up! Wake up, wake up!" I shook her lifeless body continuously, I heard her murmur something about her family but I couldn't quite hear. "Elena please…don't die on me" I saw her eyes open slight, closing them, and then opening them again.
"K-Katrina…there's no way I'm going to die! Anyways I'm sorry for pushing you…I thought by doing that you could be stronger." Elena said.
I sighed at her "Jeez, I forgive you but what matters now. Check this out" I told her as I pulled my top to show her the mark.
She looks at me bored "So…what I am looking at?"
"While I was out cold, a person name Axel showed me, my memories of Giselle. She's my oldest sister and I have 9 other siblings to find, and this one dot there. Represents the memories I've just gained. And he said 'Nine years…Nine memories…Nine dots…Nine siblings…Nine tails' which I really don't understand. Axel also said once I've got those nine dots I'll unlock the hidden power." I explained to her.
"I see…that's quite fascinating Kat, so this may happen 8 times then. Get ready Katrina who knows what could happen next…" Elena then kept quiet for a few seconds "Take me back to the room please"
We left Kakariko Village just after the sun rises, I was quite thankful that Renado gave me some food supplies and water and also that Luda for washing my clothes yesterday. We left to go to the other entrance to Kakariko Village and head out from there.
But oh my days! The best breakfast I've ever had, other than my birthday ones, but me of all people! Link is sitting next to me at breakfast wow…totally a dream come true. I had to keep my cool, otherwise Link would have thought of me as a weirdo.
There was something on my mind that I couldn't get rid of completely. I hear voices…
'Father never believe in you…but I understand Katrina'
'You don't have to be alone sister'
'So…what do you think?'
I pulled my reins as I heard the thunder, it wasn't raining just yet but the clouds were starting to darken. While playing Twilight Princess hearing the thunder reminds me of Ganondorf…Ganondorf is coming that's what I would be always be saying in my head. But he's dead for a year now, so I'm not expecting to see him or Zant...
The dark clouds rumble in the distance of the horizon as the lightning strike the ground before us. Then Aden neighed frighten and stood on the back of his legs causing me and Elena to fall off.
"What the hell?" Elena muttered "Where did all this thunder and lightning come from?"
"I don't know…" Link answered "But I'm this creature does…" Link got out his shield and the one and only, beautiful and shiny…the Master Sword. "What is your business?" Link asked the demon that creepy.
The creature looked a quite demonic, white eye that has black pupils. He was quite small but fairly tall, its skin was orangery red colour and grey hair. But what made me scared the most was his unnatural grin "My lady has a close eye on all of you…including you Katrina. She's watching every move you make; she will come for you when she has her chance. She won't stop till she gets what she wants…that is you… Katrina." he paused "Now I must be leaving otherwise, my lady will send a storm In." and with that he vanish into a black portal that was in the ground.
I looked at where the demon was exactly standing before disappearing into the black hole "What…what just happen…and what does he want from me?"
"I don't know…" Link muttered "But hopefully Princess Zelda can answer your questions, let's go"
'…I can't big brother! I just can't do it'
'Very well…you're free to go! I won't need you any longer'
'Fine…I never need you anyway!'
"Katrina! Earth to Katrina…!"
"Sorry…another shard of memories" I stood up and got onto Aden and continued our journey.
"Is this a dream or what?" I muttered to myself looking at Hyrule Castle from afar, we are also most near since I can see part of the castle.
"I could pinch you if you want Katrina" Link offered then chuckle at my reaction.
I blushed and looked away from him "Um I'm good he-he! We should get going…"
We enter the open west doors, looks like anyone is either welcome in or out. But everything in the game looks so real…wait a minute…that's because it is real stupid! People rushing around the town, pushing past though people as if it was rush hour. Merchants selling or trading goods, children runny around with toys or mini kites or whatever a lot of stalls selling goods, riches anything, people putting up things getting for a celebration or something; maybe a festival.
"Hey Link…what's with the decorations" I asked him
"We are celebrating the Sun Festival, the end of the rain the good memories of when the land has been flooded. It's a quite a new tradition celebrated every year that last may last a month or so" He explained as we walked through the town looking at each stall.
In the main square of Castle Town there was a lot of construction site going on, I knew why so I didn't bother asking Link.
But hey looks pretty good for a castle that got destroyed by that ass a year ago…and how did they manage to get it built so quickly.
We suddenly made it to the big brown wooden doors that were guarded by soldiers, Link explained the business that he had with the Princess and that I'm with him. Luckily they allow me to get pass.
The courtyard is not bad than I thought it would be, but there's this building that Link lead me to. I don't remember seeing that in Twilight Princess, maybe that's where the princess is staying for now until her chambers are built. It was quite big on the outside mostly maybe big on the inside. It was also guarded by a woman.
"You here to see the Princess, Link?" she asked.
"Yes I am I was expected a letter from her…" He reply kindly
"Very well then…and who are you?!" She asked harshly at me making me flinch.
"Don't worry she's with me also, she needed to see the Princess also" He mentioned
"Oh I do apologies for my behavior…please come in" open the door to us, making us go inside.
I was right about the size of the inside; it was big…bigger than I thought it would be. With a fire place, couch, table and chairs, and lot doors and a stair way either goes upstairs or downstairs. I felt the need of siting down but I didn't want to have a bad reputation of myself in front the Zelda, so I leaned against the wall.
"Wait here Katrina I'll be right back…" Link told me as walked into one of the doors.
I sighed in relief as he left man I'm tired…that journey was longer than I thought it would be. As long as I'm here, I'll be able to find a way regardless of the things I need to do.
Just make sure prepare of what she may do Kat…
Okay but she never fails when it comes to her powers. Okay maybe a few times when it came to that horse battle with Ganon. I hoping she knows what she's doing…
Remember what I said from the start about how she doesn't about your powers and DON'T tell her…
"Katrina…" a voice called out to me "Katrina" I snapped out of my thoughts and found Link close to my face…to close.
I blushed and moved my head away quickly but banged my head against the wall "Owie…that really hurt" I rubbed the back of my head where it was throbbing. "What was that for Link?" I look at him.
"He-he…sorry I was calling your name but you seem lost in thought so I had to snap you out. But anyways…it's time for you to meet Princess Zelda, she's waiting for you"
